Despite rumors stating otherwise the Ohio State recruiting class has not picked up the first commit of the class of 2009. Reports mentioned that Newark (Ohio) linebacker/running back Storm Klein committed to the Buckeyes on Tuesday and got things rolling for the next class, but that isn't the case according to the 6-foot-2 player.

Just because he has not committed to this point it doesn't mean that he is not very interested in the hometown Buckeyes.

Klein has been watching the recruitment of fellow Licking Valley high school teammate Tim German. The 6-foot-4, 286-pounder had a great camp season and has moved up on the Ohio State watch list.
